Ken Follett

Ken Follett
One of the hardest things for me, now that I'm famous, is finding people who can read my stuff and give me an honest critique.
Ken Follett
There was a very serious communist strain among American intellectuals before the war. America was a more tolerant place in those days, and Communists were not treated as pariahs. That ended with the McCarthy era.
Ken Follett
She loved him because he had brought her back to life. She had been like a caterpillar in a cocoon, and he had drawn her out and shown her that she was a butterfly.
Ken Follett
A baby was like a revolution, Grigori thought: you could start one, but you could not control how it would turn out.
Ken Follett
His aim was the glory of God, but the glory of Philip pleased him too.
Ken Follett
Trusting someone was like holding a little water in your cupped hands - it was so easy to spill the water, and you could never get it back.
Ken Follett
The most expensive part of building is the mistakes.
Ken Follett
Thrillers have been traditionally very masculine books the women characters often rather decorative.
